Sleeping Baby Chick
Have you ever seen how baby chicks take naps? It’s very funny. They tip forward on their little chins and pass out. I kept thinking the chickies were dead, but when I touched one it would pop right up and start running. I took this photo when they first came home. This is Lucille (Lucy) looking like a fall down drunk. I just LOVE LUCY!
I’ve renamed the chicks. I will share their names and breed types here soon.

it looks so comfortable and sleepy. What a cutie. How many chickies did you get? How long do they live? I would love a “flock?” …. I am a farm girl at heart.

I bought 4 chicks, and I hope they’re all hens (10% chance two are roosters, so not likely, but still…). I believe they can live for 8-10 years.
They’re growing very fast, so I need to get going on a coop!
I’m a farm girl too

Your little Lucy is a doll
I want to see a picture of what they look like now, and how much they have grown. Come on, Auntie wants to see the new baby pictures!
